I think the bird is a falcon of some sort, at least a bird of prey. Glad it didn't die and that your window didn't break either.

A-Z and the readathon sound like fun challenges. I am tempted by the readathon if only to do once. April for me thankfully brought no snow and more sun than expected. Plus lots of crime fiction (though you could say that every month).Emma Litttlefieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679359639138124138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-29754525257030097402017-05-06T07:02:28.739-06:002017-05-06T07:02:28.739-06:00I’d totally send you my Twinkies, but my sister at...I’d totally send you my Twinkies, but my sister ate them all. :) Happy May!<br /><br />Aj @ <a href="http://ajsterkel.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Read All The Things!</a>Aj @ Read All The Things!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02860483414620371093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-66728412183760802892017-05-06T07:01:12.594-06:002017-05-06T07:01:12.594-06:00Lol, that kid is my hero.

You did a lot of blogging and still read 12 books - that is awesome! You can send all of your twinkies my way. I think that look good and taste good (and I haven't had one in like forever!).

I think if I didn't do the Slice of Life Challenge in March, it would be possible. But I really like the SOL community of teacher-writers. <br /><br />This site http://www.pbase.com/rhopper/hawks leads me to believe it may have been a ferruginous or Harris's hawk that survived your door.<br /><br />And regarding your awesome tweets, I once had a student look out the classroom window at a group of fifth year seniors taking a smoke break and say "Like my grandpa always says, you can't fix stupid. But you can stun it with a 2 x 4."Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296827820807569574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-73892512406663685832017-05-05T08:57:14.018-06:002017-05-05T08:57:14.018-06:00I didn't read all your post, but most of them,...I didn't read all your post, but most of them, so maybe I can avoid the therapist.

I think nostalgia makes them better than they are, to be honest. I'm so in awe of you for completing the A-Z challenge! I probably wouldn't ever attempt it because I'm 100% certain I'd fail miserably. The Lottery is one of my favorites from college! I love that story SO MUCH!

The bird kind of looks like the sparrowhawks we get in our garden-I don't know if you get them where you live. I'm not an expert though! I actually love Twinkies! I was munching them last night as I watched the early results coming in for the local elections. April was a decent month for reading and a great one for blogging so I have high hopes for May!chucklesthescothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423562114343636659noreply@blogger.com
